About Me

I’ve always been a seeker.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been curious about how we grow, how we heal, and how the mind, body, and spirit are connected. That curiosity has taken many forms over the years—through learning, lived experience, and a deep interest in understanding what helps people feel calmer, clearer, and more free in their lives.

For nearly 50 years, I worked as a restaurant owner and manager. Hospitality was my life’s work for a long time—serving people, creating community, and building something meaningful alongside an extended “family” of staff and regulars who became dear to me. As I’ve gradually stepped back from that chapter, I’ve felt strongly that continuing to have purpose is not only important, but vital.

Helping people has always mattered to me. Today, I bring together the many things I’ve studied, explored, and practiced over the years to support others in a different way—by helping them release what no longer serves them and reconnect with a greater sense of calm, clarity, and freedom.

My work is rooted in compassion, respect, and the belief that change does not need to be forceful to be effective. Through hypnotherapy and Emotion Code / Body Code sessions, I support people in gently addressing emotional and subconscious patterns that may be keeping them stuck. My intention is not to “fix” anyone, but to help create space—for lightness, balance, and the ability to live more fully and authentically.

I live primarily in Vermilion, Ohio, and my husband and I also spend about five months each year in Palm Springs, California. Between my husband, family, long-standing friendships, and the many people who have become family along the way—both in the restaurant world and in Palm Springs—I feel deeply blessed by connection and community.

The freedom, peace, and perspective I experience in my own life are what inspire this work. If I can help others feel even a little more at ease, more empowered, or more free to live their best lives, then I know I’m doing what I’m meant to be doing.

All sessions are offered remotely, allowing me to work with people wherever they are.
